Here’s me, experimenting with light on a transparent snowflake ornament. I purposefully allowed the whites to become blown, and set it up so that the shadow would fall on the wall behind it… bringing “to light” the nature of darkness in our every day world. This may be something I play with more once my eyes are healed well enough to play with my good camera.

Light Play

I actually really like this image when it’s small… here it is scaled way down.

Light Play - Small

Am looking forward to playing further with this idea using a REAL camera. Should yield some interesting results.

Today was another day spent creating and colouring. And this time, after seeing that I posted some of her drawings on here previously, the wee girlie wanted to share them with all of you. 🙂 So here she is, holding up her unicorn for everyone to see. And notice the lines coming up out of the unicorn? She was eager to tell the world that those make this particular unicorn, a carousel horse. Clever girlie that she is felt the need to make that one small change to Elizabeth‘s illustration. I’m sure Ms. Dulemba wouldn’t mind.

All Done

We have family in town (my husbands grandpa and his wife)… so a bunch of our family got together. Here are Lily-Ann and her cousin, Eliana. Lily-Ann is two and a half, and Eliana (sitting on her knee) is fourteen months. If I’d had my real camera with me I’d have been able to catch her smiling… but the blackberry is SOOO much slower. LOL

Playing with “photo booth” on our iMac resulted in this ghostly image of the wee girlie. Transforming it into black and white using iPhoto only creates more of a spectre. 🙂 But even ghostly, she’s still the pretties wee girl ever.

I’m all about ecological design… in all it’s various sundry forms. This particular shot happens to be of my bag (a laptop bag I’m using as a purse). It’s a Rumah Kampung bag, the ABBY flatpack. The designer takes old mens suits and repurposes them into gorgeous bags and purses. Really beautiful work. I’ll be highlighting them in an upcoming piece at Pure Greenius (http://www.puregreenius.ca/) so I suppose this is a bit of a sneak peek. LOVE my bag!

It’s been snowing steadily for the last two days. And I have to say, it’s about time! It’s close to the end of January, and it’s finally starting to look like the beginning of December around here. 🙂

Hmmm... frosty goodness.

I’d have loved to photograph all the crisp white snow with my good camera… but it’s still too much strain on my eyes. Looking forward to picking up the D70 again. I really am missing it. Shooting for the first time sans-glasses will be an experience and a half. It will be worth the wait.

Here’s Lily-Ann in my glasses (popped out the lenses so she could have the frames) and my scrub cap (that I had to wear during surgery). Lily-Ann is in love with all things doctor, all things faery, and all things princess. 🙂 So she was quite thrilled with the gifties.
